I've heard the Peruvian Steak, Prosciutto, and Chicken are good too! My only feedback with the Happy Hippie is that there is slightly too much filling, so it falls when you are eating the sandwich. Each of their sandwiches comes with two halves and is filling and satisfying. They also use fresh, vibrant vegetables, and a store associate told me their bread is baked fresh every day! Service: The service here is half the reason I come! A lovely store associate will guide you when ordering, and they will bring the food right to you! When they bring the food, there are two napkins on the tray. If they see you carrying your tray after you are finished eating, they will also offer to take it for you! Although the sandwich prices are slightly premium, you are paying for their healthy ingredients and exceptional service! Ambiance: This restaurant is spacious with many tables on the inside and outside! Their bathrooms are also really clean and well kept! Please go here for a healthy, non-bloating meal when you're in the area!

Tough call... This is my favorite Mendocino Farms location…read moreout of at least five I have been to around Orange County. The problem with this sandwich chain is one and only: They have a huge issue with quality consistency. Ask their managers and they will tell you that the portions and sandwiche ingredients are strictly measured, but as a customer you know that's not the case. You go to some places and get these tiny sandwiches with two slices of bread and barely any ingredients in between. The Tustin location, located in Whole Foods has been the worst offender at this by far. Now this Campus Drive location has been creating the best, most generous, consistent sandwiches. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen every time still. It all depends on who you get as you cook on that day, crafting your sandwich. Some day sandwiches that get to the table are juicy and enjoyable, and sometimes, they come out to be disappointedly small, with minimum amount of ingredients. I had to complain to the manager a couple of times, but it doesn't help. Every time I come here, I pray to get the right chef who will make my sandwich well. Absolutely hate being at their mercy.

Ordered the spicy Italian and steak sandwich. spicy Italy was in nice fresh bread, with quality salami. Only issues was the bite was very hard dude to the stacking of the meat.

The ratio to bread and veggies were perfect and chimichurri sauce was a nice touch. I've also had their smash burgers which also equally good. They use mustard and ketchup vs the traditional smash sauce which is a nice change up. The fries are always hot and crispy for the perfect combo with your sandwich. They have a patio seating to enjoy your meal in all its glory. The service is pretty quick and easy, the only area to be aware of is the parking lot can get a bit packed. Not their fault but just something to be aware of. If you're looking for an elevated sandwich that showcases their great meat selection highly recommend giving Mario's a try.

Every sandwich was absolutely delicious and all the ingredients were so fresh. it's simple decor but its still a little vibe. its clean and inviting. I dont live in the area but will return in two weeks for work so I will definitely be back. sadly we ate too fast to take photos. maybe next time. Rhaun was the best part of the experience.

Go, visit, eat, and just like me, even on your first visit, you'll feel made welcome, a part of the family, and really just enjoy every minute. The people, the food, the place.

This location is across from Triangle Square in the same plaza as Grocery Outlet and Crossroads…read more I've never had a bad Ike's sandwich or experienced a location with bad service. They have a touch screen here and an in-person register. We were a group of 3 so we took a while on the touch screen and people showed up after us and the employees took care of them right away. I usually get the menage a trois which is SO GOOD and yesterday was the first time I tried something different, the Adam RIchaman. I don't know what it is, but the flavor is soo good. I"m sure they could make a sandwich with like liver and it would still taste better than any other fast-food chain sandwich. There's plenty of parking at this location and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The only thing I didn't notice was a restroom, but other than that, it's a solid location.

You can tell who is the manager - he's the guy sitting at a table with a "Stand" hat and tee-shirt feverishly entering data and looking at stuff on the computer. Why are managers always the one at the table with a laptop? If you go just down the block to Flower Child the manager is the one working at the counter handing our orders, or delivering orders to tables and interacting with the guests. Never saw him use a laptop but I'm certain he does. But the manager said goodbye to us as we left. A chicken sandwich with chicken and cole slaw was made with chicken that we very flat and hard, and had no real taste at all. I think we've been trained to get all our flavor from sauces - they had lots of sauces available and brought them to the table on request. A basket of sweat potato fried was undercooked and too soft. Not so good even with salt and lots of sauces. Of course we didn't eat the signature burger....that's what The Stand is known for...so we didn't really give them a chance for their home run. The place was about 25% full at about 3pm so ambiance was fairly quiet and service was quick. Not sure about a return visit. We're on the fence.

I am going to round up my rating to 4 stars. It is located in the The Bluffs shopping centre off…read moreCalifornia State Route 73 and MacArthur Boulevard. The staff here are very friendly. Their menu is solid, with burgers and other items that make a casual meal. You can also order via their app to pick up. They get really busy at times, and orders take a little longer. There have been a few times when they made the wrong order by mixing up sauces among items I have ordered. For example, the sauces I order for fries were added to a hot dog. That can be annoying, especially when the orders state which condiments go with what items. They do correct the orders, which I appreciate. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Because the Newport Beach weather is amazing year-round, eating outdoors is definitely a treat.

Honestly it tasted disgusting. I took one bite and threw out the rest. Also, I'm not sure why they are using a burger bun instead of the same bread in the Buena Park location. It does not go well with the sandwich. There's only 1 person working so she was busy making the drinks/food by herself. I guess I'll stick to the Buena Park location.

You order at a kiosk, grab your own utensils and water, and throw out your own bowls and plates after. There's even a stack of takeout bags for customers to grab. The single staff member just fulfills the order and leaves it at the counter. As other reviewers have mentioned, the female employee isn't particularly warm and fuzzy but that's fine with me. The ramen here appears to be literally buldak ramen and shin ramen. The "mild" flavor shows no chili pepper icons next to it but if you can't handle spice, I would avoid. The K-style tteokbokki and udon is pretty spicy (two chili pepper icons) compared to some others we've had locally. It comes with fish cake and wide glass noodles. My fish cakes were a little dried out because of being overdone (or over reheated I should say). However, the other bowls for the rest of my group seemed to be fine. The flavor otherwise was good. Portion size is acceptable for the price. The udon was bouncy and cooked to perfection (not overdone or soft). The bulgogi bowl is totally not spicy so it's a good option for someone who doesn't want something spicy. It's not mentioned on the menu but it's served with a generous helping of roasted seaweed flakes on top. The portion was okay for the price but honestly, I think I prefer CA Gogi a few storefronts over which is somewhat similar in price but at least offers a choice of banchan to make your bowl more interesting. I would come back again if I was in the area and needed a close location to UCI and wanted tteokbokki for a reasonable price and is fast.
